The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. This is Rusty, lookin’ at the surf for Playa Mojon.
Alright, let’s be straight with you – the next week and a half is a bit of a struggle for Playa Mojon. We’re looking at a long stretch of tiny, weak swell that’s just not doing much. The first real pulse of energy that’s even worth paddling out for doesn’t show up until Saturday, August 8th. So, from now until then, you’re looking at a dry spell of about 8 days with nothing really on offer.
The early part of the run is dominated by a very small south swell, only 0.7ft to 1ft, with periods that are all over the place. The combined energy is weak, bouncing between 15 and 45 (42 to 25), which is just not enough to get excited about. The wind is light and mostly offshore or glassy, which is a shame because the waves just aren’t there to make use of it.
The One Standout
The best we’ve got comes on Saturday, August 8th. The swell starts to lift a little, with a south swell at 1ft to 2ft. The period is a solid 16 seconds, so that’s a proper groundswell, and it’s pushing the combined energy into the moderate range (98 to 125). The wind is light and offshore or cross-offshore through the morning and afternoon, so the conditions will be clean. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there. For a reef break that’s fairly consistent, this is the window to watch. The morning is the pick with clean offshore wind and glassy conditions. Crowds are likely here, so get there early.
Sunday, August 9th holds a little bit of that energy, with 1ft swell and a 14-second period, but the wind is a bit more variable. It’s still surfable, but Saturday is the clear winner.
After that, things drop off again. The swell fades back to 0.7ft to 1ft for the rest of the run, with only a few pockets of waist-high slop. The very long period swell (18-21 seconds) on the 10th and 11th is a tease – it’s got energy, but the height is so small it’s barely breaking.
So, the takeaway: wait for Saturday, August 8th. That’s your day. The rest is a whole lot of waiting.
Rusty.
